P&A Foundation, Inc.
"1-2-3 ZIP (YOUR MOUTHS)!"
This was the humorous constant reminder of the teachers of Sisters of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary School to contain the din of their more than 200 hyperactive pupils. The 3 to 6 year-old toddlers, about 96 boys and 119 girls, were hard to restrain as they caught sight of the abundant presents awaiting them.
PAUSE launches Project: P&Aaralan
On October 7, 2006, P&A for a Cause (PAUSE) formally kicked off its long-term undertaking, “Project P&Aaralan,” with a contract signing at the P&A Head Office.

For the Boys
After a grueling busy season and, for some, a well-deserved respite in breathtaking Boracay, 18 P&A staff, alumni and friends flocked to the function hall of Our Lady of Fatima Chapel on Zapanta Street, Manila, last June 4 for another well-attended P&A for a Cause (PAUSE) activity dubbed “Serbisyo Medikal,” a circumcision mission. PAUSE offered manpower assistance and sponsored medical-related items.
P&AUSE for Education
Through the initiative of Ice Ayson, Project Head of P&A for a Cause (PAUSE), P&A Davao was tapped to help promote civic and social awareness among its staff, who whole-heartedly dedicated portions of their hard-earned salary to an indeed worthy cause.Committed to aiding the less fortunate youth in their pursuit of learning and education, PAUSE teamed up with the Philippine Business for Social Progress (Mindanao Regional Operations) to organize the Education Through My Charitable Contribution (E=MC2) Program, a fund-raising campaign for schoolchildren in depressed areas in Mindanao.
P&AUSE’s Oplan Calapan
Reeling from the wake of the typhoon that ravaged their town, most families from Calapan, Mindoro, spent Christmas Day camped out in various evacuation centers. At present, at least six barangays in Calapan are still submerged in floodwater.
P&Ambatang Handog
At the close of the fiscal year, P&AUSE will be completing its thrust by helping out our less fortunate younger brothers and sisters.

Around 30 P&A staff, alumni and friends volunteered for an early Christmas project of P&A for a Cause (P&AUSE) bringing 30 privileged kids to an alternative learning experience last November 27, Saturday.
Taskforce SUNRISE
After the much felt presence of typhoons “Winnie” and “Yoyong” in November of 2004, P&A for a Cause (P&AUSE) formed Taskforce SUNRISE to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters mostly affected.
